Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Hey guys. Wasn’t sure where to post this but thought it might be helpful for myself and others here. I’m a 25 year old guy just navigating this crazy era in history. Grew up in the digital age and basically have an addiction to phones, computers, everything. Got addicted to alcohol at a young age. Managed to quit that have been sober for 3 years. Still struggling with excessive porn use and the like. Too much time spent on the phone, etc. I know that all of this is engineered to brainwash us and yet I find myself struggling to fully break free. Anyone have any advice?
Here is how I stopped it from being so controlling. I allow myself to have porn as a choice. So instead of saying I'll never watch porn again, I say I'm going to choose to not watch porn for awhile. However long feels comfortable. Eventually I found myself watching less and less because I knew I could always watch if I wanted to. Now it's a treat every month or two and I really don't think that's a big deal. I stick to homemade stuff because the staged stuff just isn't representative of real sex at all. It's not what everyone would recommend on here but basically imo moderation is key.
